Well, your previous comment stated that you hadn't used ODBC or MySQL
before.  I'm not sure what your experience is with databases, but jumping
right into ODBC is probably a very frustrating path.  If all you need is one
table (I think that's all you alluded to in your post), then EDS is probably
a decent solution.  EuSQL (which uses EDS) can handle indexing for you.
Setting up a record locking scheme shouldn't be too hard, although EuSQL
currently opens a file exclusively, so that would need to be altered if you
decided to use EuSQL.
